I just finished re-reading Wanda Hickey a few days ago. Reading the story "The Return of the Smiling Wimpy Doll" reminded me of a story I read in Bill Maudlin's book the Brass Ring about the origins of the Wimpy character. As I recall, the creator of Popeye (Segar?)was in art school in Chicago, I believe, & he had a professor named Wellington who was very proper gave him a hard time about being a cartoonist, so he created a character named J. Wellington Wimpy who was the exact opposite of this professor. |
